Popular iOS parenting application Baby Monitor 3G is getting live video - Published on 09/25/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TappyTaps announces Baby Monitor 3G, a new major version of their award winning baby monitoring application. Baby Monitor 3G helps parents babysit their child as it allows them to listen to what is happening in the baby's room, transmitting live pictures from there, or even letting the parents talk to their child. The app gets number of new features, but the most significant one is live video stream, which makes it possible to see everything what is happening in the child's room.

Prague, Czech Republic - Baby Monitor 3G helps parents babysit their child by letting them listen to what is happening in the baby's room and letting them talk to their child. All that is needed are 2 iOS devices. Now thanks to live video parents can truly see their child's every move. Baby Monitor 3G is the first of its kind app, that supports audio functions over ANY network (WiFi, 3G, EDGE, ...) and also offers video functionality over the same WiFi network.

Apart from live video stream, other new features have been added to Baby Monitor 3G. Parents can be alarmed by phone vibration, when their child wakes up, which is great in noisy environment. Also the audio quality has been much improved.

"We are constantly trying to listen to our customers and live video or vibration alarm were really requested features so we are excited that we can present them in new Baby Monitor 3G" said Jindrich Sarson, CEO of TappyTaps and father of three. "The possibility to see video of what is happening in child's room on your iOS device is incredible and gives you complete peace in mind", continues Sarson.

After just 6 months on market, already more than 60,000 parents worldwide love Baby Monitor 3G, Apple selects it as App Of The Week in German speaking countries and industry experts awarded Baby Monitor 3G in Buzz App Awards.

New features in Baby Monitor 3G 2.1
* Live video stream. Using the built-in iPhone/iPad camera parents can see live what is happening in child's room. The live video works, when both iOS devices are connected to same WiFi. In other cases the app transmits still image
* Night light, making possible to use video or camera also in dark rooms. In case that baby station uses rear camera, built in flash is used. If the front camera is used, Baby Monitor 3G uses LCD display to light up the room
* Vibration alarm ensuring that parents won't miss any alarm in loud environment
* Time from last noise is displayed on parent station
* Improved audio quality, when both devices are connected to the same WiFi network
* Native support for iOS6 and new iPhone 5 screen resolution

Features of Baby Monitor 3G that are important for parents
* They can hear their baby - thanks to our state-of-the-art algorithm for voice and microphone volume adjustment they can hear their baby even when it is not close to the device or when it is crying softly
* 2-way communication with their baby - it is possible to talk to their baby from the parent's station
* It is reliable - it constantly monitors the connection between the parent's station and the baby station, and notifies the parents immediately when something goes wrong. It will even reconnect via another network in case the first network's signal is lost
* It works with all networks - You are no longer limited to just one WiFi network, as with the other WiFi-based baby monitors available in the App Store. Baby Monitor 3G can connect to any network with no limitations on distance
* It is network-efficient - we are well aware of the tight restrictions of some network operators, so one hour of typical use of this device requires only 1 MB of data, which is less than is needed to send one high quality photograph by e-mail
* It is easy to use - easy to configure and even easier to run

Supported languages:
* US English, French, German, Czech, Spanish, Dutch

Device requirements:
* Baby Monitor 3G is a universal application

GoodReader Makes Windows File Sharing Easier with SMB Support - Published on 09/25/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Good.iWare today announces GoodReader, an update to the world's best-selling document reader for iPhone and iPad. GoodReader is known as the top document reader for viewing, navigating and annotating large PDF documents on an iPhone and iPad. The new version features support for Server Message Block protocol, making it easier-than-ever to share documents with Windows PCs and laptops. Users simply connect from the app on their iDevices to a shared folder on a Windows machine or to a NAS drive.

Topeka, Kansas - GoodReader, the world's best-selling document reader for iPhone and iPad, announces support for Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, making it easier-than-ever to share documents with Windows PCs and laptops. Support for SMB, the standard protocol which all Windows computers use to share folders on a local network, makes it easier to connect from GoodReader to a PC or laptop for sharing files between the computer and iPad or iPhone.

GoodReader users have already been able to exchange files between their iOS devices and their PCs using other protocols, such as WebDAV, FTP, SFTP and AFP, but supporting SMB simplifies the process because it is the native protocol for Windows, as well as a number of NAS drives, and requires practically zero set-up. Now, GoodReader users simply connect from the app on their iPads or iPhones to a shared folder on a Windows machine or to a NAS drive.

"A key goal of GoodReader is to deliver unparalleled file viewing and sharing options, but still be super simple for anyone to use," said Yuri Selukoff, president of Good.iWare. "Now you can literally exchange files between GoodReader and your Windows computer without getting up from the couch."

To make it even easier to set-up, the new version of GoodReader also offers an auto-discovery feature which automatically finds SMB servers and shares on a local WiFi network.

Business users also enjoy the vast means of file-sharing GoodReader offers, including support for Dropbox, Microsoft SkyDrive, Google Drive, SugarSync, box.com, Novell NetStorage and Microsoft Office 365 (SharePoint) servers, joining other WebDAV, SFTP, AFP or FTP servers in enabling users to sync and share files over remote servers. GoodReader enables users to sync entire folders or individual files separately.

As always, existing GoodReader users can download and install this new version for free. New users can purchase GoodReader in the App Store for US$4.99.

About GoodReader:
Since its release, the iPad version of GoodReader has achieved #1 in sales in the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Spain and many others. GoodReader is known as the top document reader for viewing, navigating and annotating large PDF documents on an iPhone and iPad. Besides its annotate and text search capabilities, other key GoodReader features are active hyperlinks, which enable users to more easily navigate within the document or launch a linked document or website, and PDF Reflow. GoodReader has also set the standard for iOS document readers in the enterprise, offering a high level of document security and synchronization with remote servers.

Free CPR Tempo App Released for iOS - Published on 09/25/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Frozen Ape today introduces CPR Tempo 1.0, a free iOS app that provides audio and visual cues to aid the timing of chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. CPR Tempo is designed for optimal clarity and to be fuss free, critical requirements during emergencies. It fulfills the need for a low-cost tool to help rescuers maintain the recommended rate of 100 compressions per minute. CPR Tempo provides bonus functions including timers for rhythm checks and epinephrine administration.

Singapore - Frozen Ape today is pleased to announce the release of CPR Tempo, an iOS app that provides audio and visual cues to aid the timing of chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A rate of 100 compressions per minute is recommended by the American Heart Association for effective CPR. This is difficult to maintain without audio cues. Rescuers traditionally either use dedicated hardware or resort to acquainting themselves with songs that have a similar tempo. For the first time, iOS users have constant access to a dedicated and polished software solution.

The idea for this app was conceived when ER nurse and Army Reservist MAJ Don Kyle shared with Frozen Ape about how their flagship and bestselling metronome app, Tempo, was used to help save a life. By simply setting Tempo to play at 100 beats per minute, a tool intended for musicians became the perfect CPR aid. The tones, Don shared, were able to cut through ambient noise and remain audible.

"We were elated and humbled that our metronome app could play a part in saving lives. This is something that never crossed our minds," said Zen Ho, founder of Frozen Ape. "We reached out to Don Kyle and with his help, designed a dedicated CPR timing app along with some bonus features. We salute the work of all medical workers around the world, and to play our own small part, are providing this app for free."

CPR Tempo is designed for optimal clarity and to be fuss free, critical requirements during emergencies. Its interface is dominated by an illustrated heart that pounds to the audio tones. Timers with their own audio and visual cues are provided for rhythm checks and epinephrine administration. These two key actions require the lapse of time intervals which are often not adhered to. All actions taken during a resuscitation event are logged, along with its location.

Key App Features
* Audio and visual cues for CPR tempo
* Timer for rhythm checks after defibrillator shocking
* Timer for epinephrine administration
* Logging of each resuscitation event

Device requirements
* Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 1.5 MB

Pricing and availability
CPR Tempo 1.0 is available for free on the App Store in the Medical category.

Life Inventory for iPad (3rd Top iOS App for 2012) Version 2.6 Available - Published on 09/25/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer James Hollender's Life Inventory for iPad version 2.6 (#3 iOS App) has been released features the capability to enter data faster. This and the iPhone version are Lifestyle apps that guide users in creating their own Moral Inventory, which can provide greater self-understanding of their personality, strengths, and weaknesses. These apps allow the user to learn more about themselves than ever thought possible and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist.

Revere, Massachusetts - Indie developer James Hollender's Life Inventory for iPad app which was named Top iOS app No. 3 for 2012 has been updated to version 2.6 providing faster entry of data, especially for New Fears. This and the iPhone version are Lifestyle apps that guide users in creating their own Moral Inventory, which can provide greater self-understanding of their personality, strengths, and weaknesses. These apps allow the user to learn more about themselves than ever thought possible and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist.

Version 2.1 provides substantially faster access when moving between editing and reviewing individual incidents in addition to allowing for easy corrections of Entity and Incident names while reviewing Incidents. Version 2.5 provided enhanced graphics including switches for responding to Yes/No questions marked "Yes" and "No" instead of "On" and "Off"; quicker navigation from Determine Effects to Review Incidents; and multi-page printing now includes headers and footers.

New in Version 2.6 the Popover for Adding a New Fear now includes list of all incidents to assist in researching available data, and when new fear is being entered potential matches are displayed. This provides about a five-fold increase for the entry of Fears. For the iPhone and iPod touch version, support for the new iPhone 5 screen size has been submitted for update to the iTunes App Store.

The process of completing a Life Inventory does not directly address anyone's specific problems or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before, like:

* What did I want?
* Why did I want it?
* What am I not admitting?
* What lie did I tell myself?
* What did I leave out or not say?
* What lie did I tell others?
* Have I ever done the same thing?
* Was it any of my business?
* Were my expectations reasonable?
* What was the real truth?
* What was I not seeing?
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation?
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted?
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted?

Life Inventory for iPad guides the user through six different steps, each with its own activity grouping, for making a Life Inventory in writing:

* Build Lists
* Causes and Effects
* My Part
* Fears Analysis
* Fear Questions
* Sex Relations

Throughout the process, users are encouraged to write out their Inventory, be completely honest about themselves and take advantage of encouragement and support.

The Inventory begins by making one simple list, which defines four fixed Categories in which to file away what are broadly categorized as Incidents:

* People
* Institutions and Organizations
* Principles, Ideals and Beliefs
* Sources of Anxiety and Excitement

Each of the four Categories will contain hierarchical sub-categories. From there, users outline Entities and then individual Incidents.

Step-by-step, users complete the Causes and Effects of each Incident. Next, users determine the part they played in each Incident listed. It is not unusual to create hundreds of Incident forms, each devoted to a single incident. The app includes the ability to create and save all written lists and forms with password protection. Having completed all their Incident forms, users can refer to these forms to help list all their Fears. The app includes the following eight pre-defined fears, to which the user is free to add:

* Other people's opinions
* Not getting what I want
* Not having control of the situation
* Financial insecurity
* Abandonment
* Physical harm
* Failure
* Success

The fifth step is examining each Fear category and answering the following key questions:

* Why did I have this fear?
* When did I first notice this fear in my life?
* How did I hold on to this fear?
* What did this fear make me do?
* What chain of circumstances did this fear set in motion in my life?
* How did I react to this fear?
* What decision did this fear cause me to make?
* How did self-reliance fail me?
* What should I have done instead?

And the sixth and final step is examining Sex Relations, where users answer all the following questions regarding each of their sexual relationships:

* How was I selfish?
* Where was I dishonest?
* Where was I inconsiderate?
* Who was hurt in this situation?
* Did I arouse jealousy, suspicion, or bitterness?
* Where was I at fault?
* What should I have done instead?
* What will I do in the future?
* Did I pray or have spiritual conversations with him/her?
* Did I pray for him/her?
* Did I enjoy his/her company?
* Did we bring each other closer to God?

"The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address anyone's specific problems or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life," stated indie developer James Hollender. "The Life Inventory for iPad app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened."

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 12.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Life Inventory for iPad 2.6 is $9.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. A Lite version of the app is $1.99, a supplement that provides a mock Moral Inventory from which the user can learn by example and experimentation. A similar version is also available for the iPhone and iPod touch. Review copies are available on request.

Kwalee Announce Team Unicron's Manic New Game - Published on 09/25/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The development team at Kwalee, going under the guise of 'Team Unicron', have been working for four months on their first title, code named BLT. Under the leadership of Adam Philbin, they have been creating a comically violent multiplayer physics game, featuring a cast of disturbingly cute farm animals. The development team are working away at feverishly for an eagerly anticipated pre-Christmas release. Team Unicron will be attending the annual Eurogamer conference on Friday 28th September.

Leamington Spa, United Kingdom - Kwalee Announce Team Unicron's Manic New Game. The new development team at Kwalee, going under the guise of 'Team Unicron', have been working for four months now on their first title, code named BLT. Under the leadership of Adam Philbin they have been creating a comically violent multiplayer physics game, featuring a cast of disturbingly cute farm animals.

BLT has now reached the stage where everyone at Kwalee is playing against each other and having loads of fun creating mayhem in the game, which the development team are working away at feverishly for an eagerly anticipated pre-Christmas release.

Kwalee, with its first two games Gobang Social and Pussy Flip, took well known board games and developed them into being the best possible iterations on the Apple App Store. This enabled Kwalee to develop the very complex ecosystem that surrounds such a multiplayer game whilst using and enhancing the proven and well known game mechanics. This means that BLT is the first Kwalee game to feature original, unique and compelling core gameplay. Team Unicron have succeeded in this with some off-the-wall thinking and outrageous humour that borders on the extreme.

Team Leader Adam Philbin is typically whimsical; "We wanted to create a game that would make people laugh and cry, hopefully leading to years of expensive therapy. I don't want to blow my own trumpet but I think we've succeeded in that department!"

BLT also represents a step change in art style for Kwalee, as it's the first game to involve the company's dedicated art studio, led by Head of Art James Horn. The original artwork and concepts from Team Unicron's Adam Philbin have been brought to life ably by the art studio's skillful artists, with Kwalee's eccentric Russian, Alexei Lundgard, illustrating the bulk of the in-game graphics. The huge strength and quality of the game's artwork is a great compliment to the exceptional gameplay.

Over the next few months BLT will be developed with more levels and every aspect of the game will be fine tuned to create the most satisfying gaming experience. Kwalee CEO David Darling CBE (who was a co-founder of Codemasters) is determined to publish something very special: "We are not here to create games that are simple and easy to develop. We are here to create exceptional products and Kwalee will commit all the resources necessary to achieve this. Adam Philbin has great iOS game development experience with proven successes, with BLT his team are creating a benchmark game."

Team Unicron will be attending the annual Eurogamer conference on Friday 28th September - contact Ian Kane to arrange an interview opportunity.

Study Mathematics with PocketCAS 3.1 - Update Plus 75 Percent Discount - Published on 09/25/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EUROCOMP has announced PocketCAS 3.1, an update to its powerful mathematics software for iPad and iPhone. PocketCAS is a very advanced computer algebra system which makes iOS devices capable of calculating mathematical problems in just seconds. The main target groups are scientists, engineers, teachers and students. Version 3.1 adds several new features like improvements for presenting results as well as compatibility with iOS 6 and the iPhone 5. It is discounted by 75 percent for a short while.

Windeck-Rosbach, Germany - EUROCOMP has announced the release of version 3.1 of its award winning mathematics software PocketCAS for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Version 3.1 adds several new features like improvements for presenting results as well as compatibility with iOS 6 and the iPhone 5. It is discounted by 75 percent for a short while.

PocketCAS is a very advanced computer algebra system which turns an iPhone or iPod touch into a device capable of calculating complicated mathematical problems in just seconds. The main target group are scientists, mathematicians and students. PocketCAS makes their everyday work a lot easier. Apart from calculating symbolic derivatives and taylor series expansions as well as plotting cartesian and polar functions, PocketCAS computes symbolic integrals, simplifies expressions and does advanced linear algebra. A vast amount of more than 500 functions enable PocketCAS to solve almost every mathematical problem.

The integrated function plotter makes it easy to visualize formulas. Users can graph cartesian as well as polar functions without having to worry about plot settings. Ease of use has always been EUROCOMP's main goal developing software. PocketCAS ships with nine tutorials. There's also an easily accessible and clear searchable list of all available functions. The list is combined with examples and syntax information for almost every available function.

Almost every object in PocketCAS can be printed or exported as PDF or image. Be it the whole document, a plot, an entry or just a single formula - it can be exported for use in other applications.

Special care has been taken in order to make text input a breeze. When working with a CAS, there's a lot of different functions one might want to enter (PocketCAS is a lot more powerful than a regular scientific calculator). The iPhone's touchscreen is not very large and as much space as possible should be available for the calculations. PocketCAS therefore introduces a special mathematical keyboard with different sections. When tapping a function's key, it will be entered including braces, with the cursor in between. If text was selected prior to pressing a function key, the previously selected text will automatically be used as the argument for the entered function.

PocketCAS makes it easy to compose physical formulas. Built-in constants and physical units allow to enter formulas from a textbook without having to substitute constants manually. Entering large matrices by hand can be a huge pain, so PocketCAS' visual matrix editor assists with this task.

PocketCAS is available in two different versions. For many uses, the free version PocketCAS lite may be sufficient. It serves as a great scientific calculator and allows to plot one function at a time. PocketCAS pro adds more sophisticated CAS functions like symbolic integration and advanced linear algebra and also plots multiple functions at once.

Language Support:
English and German

Device Requirements:
* iPad, iPhone or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 18.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
PocketCAS lite 3.1 is Free and PocketCAS pro 3.1 is $9.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies). Both applications are available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. For more detailed information, please have a look at the PocketCAS homepage. Qualified reviewers are welcome to ask for a free promo code. Should you find PocketCAS worth a note, we'd be more than happy to receive a short reference via email.

ABBYY Launches Lingvo Dictionaries 3.0 with New Language Learning Tool - Published on 09/25/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ABBYY today announces the availability of Lingvo Dictionaries 3.0 for iOS, a versatile dictionary and translation application for Apple mobile devices. The new product introduces Lingvo cards, an interactive tool for memorizing words and phrases while on the go. Its close integration with the extensive dictionary content of ABBYY Lingvo helps iPhone and iPad users learn languages more effectively enjoying the process.

Moscow, Russia - ABBYY, a leading provider of document recognition, document capture, and linguistic technologies and services, today announced the availability of Lingvo Dictionaries 3.0 for iOS, a versatile dictionary and translation application for Apple(R) mobile devices. The new product introduces Lingvo cards, an interactive tool for memorizing words and phrases while on the go. Its close integration with the extensive dictionary content of ABBYY Lingvo(R) helps iPhone(R) and iPad(R) users learn languages more effectively enjoying the process.

"Over 70 percent users of ABBYY Lingvo use the dictionary for learning foreign languages, and many of them were asking us to create a tool to help them memorize words and phrases" commented Katya Solntseva, Director of Mobile Products Department at ABBYY. "New Lingvo cards makes a very natural addition to the dictionary, simplifying their task. It also provides people with the opportunity to master a language by taking advantage of any idle moment while on the go."

ABBYY Lingvo Dictionaries for iOS allows users of Apple devices to access vocabulary of many languages at once, with more than 250 general translation, explanatory, idiomatic and specialized dictionaries available for download and purchase*. It also provides an advanced photo translation function** that offers the easiest way to look-up and translate words by photographing them with the iPhone camera. Its dictionary entries contain various linguistic information, such as: translation alternatives, phonetic spelling, audio pronunciations recorded by native speakers, word-use examples and inflected forms of the headword.

Lingvo cards enables users to create easy-to-use learning cards for memorizing words and checking themselves periodically with simple lessons at any place and time. The lessons offer two most basic and popular tasks: to refresh or remember translations of foreign words (by reading or listening to their audio pronunciation) and remember a word by its translations displayed on the screen. Learning cards can be created automatically from dictionary entries or manually by typing or copying necessary information from other sources. They can be grouped for different languages and translation directions allowing users to learn more than one language on their device. Users can easily manage their cards according to their individual plan: add new cards with additional information and translation alternatives, exclude words from the lessons or delete them from the program when they are memorized. In addition to several translation alternatives, Lingvo сards may contain audio
pronunciations of words, usage examples and any other information a user may find important.

Unlike traditional paper cards for memorizing words, Lingvo cards will never get lost or missed, they won't pile up in multiple places overwhelming language learners with their quantity. A truly convenient and user-friendly tool, ABBYY Lingvo helps users to smooth out and enjoy the process of learning and memorizing. To further improve user experience, ABBYY Lingvo now allows iPhone users to work with dictionaries and learning cards in landscape mode.

The basic dictionary set, available for download within the application for no extra charge, includes 56 dictionaries spanning 27 languages. Additional premium content dictionaries can be added anytime, allowing users to expand their translation capabilities. The full list of premium content dictionaries and the list of language combinations available for translation can be found on ABBYY website.

On the Apple iPhone, the photo translation feature supports instant translation of words in 27 languages. Compatible devices include the Apple iPod(R) touch 2G, 3G and 4G, iPad, iPad 2, the new iPad and the iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS, 3G (iOS 4.0 or later).
